Re: [Playerstage-users] add device to player

[Nate K. <nat...@gm...>]

Hello,

Please don't send emails to all the playerstage mailing lists. Read
the descriptions for each mailing list, and choose one. In particular,
you should never post messages to the commit list.

Can you post your player config file?

Did you create a plugin driver (which is what you should have done)?
Look at player/examples/plugins/exampledriver.

In Gazebo, did you create a Sonar Sensor, Controller, and Player Interface?

What does Gazebo output when you start it up?
